🤩 Raúl Jiménez and wife repay Wolves fans' affection with a gift
Raúl Jiménez came off the bench to secure a 2-2 draw in the 93rd minute for his Wolverhampton against Blackburn this Friday (14), in the opening round of the Championship.
It was his first goal since returning to the club where he is an idol.
A goal that part of the Wolves fans at Molineux celebrated using a gift from the striker and his wife, actress Daniela Basso.
The Mexican's first spell at the club (2018/2023) was marked by goals and a skull fracture suffered in 2020 — which kept him out of football for eight months.
His three seasons with Fulham did not stop the now 35-year-old from continuing to receive affection from Wolves fans.
And his way of giving back some of that support was by gifting those in attendance in the South Bank, one of the stadium's sections, a scarf.
The item, produced in the colors of Mexico, featured the phrase " Si, señor! " (Yes, sir!), which the fans chant for the player.
The gift idea came from Daniela. And it had the club's support, since production only began a week before the match.
Wolves themselves highlighted the initiative.
The fracture suffered by Jiménez happened after a collision with David Luiz, who was playing for Arsenal, in a Premier League match in November 2020.

The incident was serious. And Jiménez was at real risk of losing his life, something he himself highlighted when he returned to action:
" They (the doctors) told me it was a miracle that I survived. The bone had broken and there was a small bleed inside my brain. That's why the surgery had to be quick, and the doctors did a very good job ".
Raúl only started putting up good numbers again once he was wearing the Fulham shirt.
And now, he begins a new chapter with the full support of the Wolves.
